Went Sporting early this season, was really excited to see him but couldn’t believe how small in height he was. Which like or not is a bigger obstacle to the lad succeeding in a big five league where defensive midfielders and full backs are far more athletic Lionel Messi is 5ft 7 must be the worst winger in the world by that logic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfox Posted 29 December 2022 Share Posted 29 December 2022 As I’m in the midst of scouting centre backs, they are to me what left footed right wingers are to @Ric Flair, an addiction. Just a recommendation for the RW role, Liel Abada of Celtic. His xG & xA stats compared to other wingers mentioned are eye catching. Whether in January or the summer, a double Celtic swoop for Abada & O’Riley would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again Messi was also playing top level football from a young age rather than making a debut at that level at 24/25. Ironically Edwards has played most of the season as a false 9 - which is exactly my point about CMs etc. You work space with good intelligence and physicality isn’t as much as an issue because you can seek the space out. As a winger you are in constant 1 on 1 battles which has football has evolved become more and more physical. You look at a player like Podence for Wolves who would be described as a winger but he’s probably played more centrally than ever in PL.

taupe Posted 29 December 2022 Share Posted 29 December 2022 Reading gossip columns it's all usual clubs splashing big bucks. I'm not sure if that's because if other clubs have no plans (unlikely), not much money (likely) or are just of no interest to gossip columns (probably most likely) I think Palace are considering a new assistant groundsman.

Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 29 December 2022 Share Posted 29 December 2022 The three players need to improve the first 11. We can't keep skimping and relying on academy players - all the hallmarks of Southampton's demise. Rodgers is absolutely right in what he says about players required and given we've signed 1 players in 18 months it's about time the club backed him.

The board decided to stick by him so now need to deliver the transfers. BR's partially to blame as sounds like he had a big hand in Bertrand and Vestergaard. With Glover in place, and how the signing of Faes came about, let's hope we're returning to the model of buying younger, talented yet unproven players.

I auppose clickbait articles will inevitably focus on the clubs who have millions of plastics around the country and world desperate for the latest scrap of gossip. The more clicks the more advertising revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were after him we'd have got him before Shef Utd, he's a massive missed bargain for a lot of clubs.... funnily enough given he's from Forest academy, I can't believe they didn't try and re-sign him! He's north of £20m now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbtcity Posted 29 December 2022 Share Posted 29 December 2022 Youri replacement? Granted he doesn’t offer the same sort of goal involvement as Youri (sorry for my lack of xg input) but at 21 the lad looks something special 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Energy, athleticism and aggression is what we need in the middle of the park if we’re going to survive the next 18-30months. Sign a RW to replace Youri’s goals/creativity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this occasion we can put your addiction to one side, make an exception for Abada, because he could be well worth a punt. As you said the other day though, Tsygankov makes the most sense because of his contract situation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
